The golden arches are heading for one of Frisco’s hottest corners, with a new McDonald’s planned for the northwest corner of PGA Parkway and Preston Road. State permit records indicate the single-story, roughly 3,845-square-foot restaurant carries an estimated construction cost of about $1.5 million and could be built and open by mid-2026. The site lands squarely in the fast-growing PGA Frisco/Fields corridor, where hotels, entertainment venues and retail projects have been steadily reshaping the landscape.
The timeline and project specifics appear in a listing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation that labels the site as "MCD PRESTON & PGA - FRISCO, TX" and shows a Feb. 1, 2026 construction start and a June 30, 2026 completion date, along with the square footage and estimated cost. The filing names McDonalds USA, LLC as the owner and JAW Architects, Inc. as the design firm, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Local reporter Karen Chaney of Community Impact first spotted the filing on Dec. 11 and highlighted the February to June 2026 construction window outlined in the state record. The outlet notes that the project is slated for the northwest corner of PGA Parkway and Preston Road and has said it plans to update coverage as additional details come out.
Why the spot makes sense for McDonald’s
The parcel sits in a corridor that has been drawing serious investment, from the Omni PGA Frisco resort and the PGA of America headquarters to new mixed-use plans at Fields and Firefly Park. All of that brings in a steady stream of visitors and employees who help support more quick-serve options in the area. The Dallas Morning News has detailed how the PGA campus has helped kick-start nearby commercial growth.
Road work could play into both the construction phase and long-term access. PGA Parkway is among the major corridors the city is upgrading to handle rising traffic, with improvements scheduled to continue into 2026. The city’s current slate of projects along the PGA corridor is outlined by Community Impact.
The state filing lists the project contact as Jeramy Williams and shows "tenant not assigned," indicating that while McDonalds USA is recorded as the owner, no local franchisee or operator is named yet. The project is tagged as new construction in Collin County and includes a registered accessibility specialist, with Fort Worth-based JAW Architects on the design team, per the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
For now, the public record offers a short timeline and basic specs. Frisco residents and commuters can watch upcoming city permit filings and site-plan notices for details on traffic staging, landscaping and, eventually, an operator announcement. We will keep an eye on permits and local reports as the project approaches its early 2026 construction window.
